DEMANDS OF THE NATIONAL
FARMERS ALLIANCE UPON
CONGRESS.

Below we print in full the demands
made by the National Farmers ALI
ance in convention at Shreveport.
They are sound to the core and show
in ringing language the more impor-
tant purposes of this great body, and
the ends they propose to achieve.
This body was composed of farmers
representing all the Southern States,
and the resolutions appended were
passed unanimously,
Resolved, That we the National
Farmers Alliance and Cooperative
Union of America, in convention as
sembled, advocate and endorse the fol-
lowing principles as in accord with the
sentiments and demands of the tillers
Of the soil:
lst. We demand, first, the recogni-
ton, by incorporation, of trades,
unions, cooperative stores and such
thoer associations as may be organized
by the industrial classes to improve
their financial condition, or promote
their general welfare.
I'd. We demand that the all public
lands be held in small bodies, not ex-
ceeding three hundred and twenty
acres to each purchaser, for actual set
tiers, on easy terms of payment.
3D. That large bodies Of land held
by private individuals or corporations
shall be assessed for taxation, at such
rates as they are offered to purchasers
on credit of one, two and three years,
in bodies of one hundred and sixty
acres or less.
4th That whereas, large bodies Of
our public lands, have been sold to
foreign capitalists, thus tending to the
establishment of landed aristocracy
in this country, similar to that which
has reduced the people of Ireland, and
other monarchical Governments, to a
condition Of abject serfdom; we de-
mand the passage of laws forbidding
the ownership of lands, by aliens, whose
allegiance belongs to other nations,
and that the public domain be held as
the heritage of aur own people and our
children after us.
9Th. That all lands forfeitable by
railroads or other corporations, imme-
diately revert to the government and
be declared open for purchase by actual

Conversations held with two farm
ers today will be more interesting
than anything that [ can write. The
object is to record the experience, and
to induce farmers to make efforts for
greater prosperity.
Farmer B. said that he had not yet
been able to pay his store bills for
supplies, furnished him by one of his
nelghbors "a merchant) to make his
cotton crop, and that his crop was so
short, that he feared he could not
realize enough from his cotton to pay
for his years provision bill. He
stated that he had been compelled for
several years to buy all of his meat
that his hogs had died from cholera
and that he had no provisions for next
year. He spoke sadly, and looked
discouraged as well, he might be, for
when farmer is compelled to buy his
provisions, he is usually on the road
to poverty. He said that he had used
all kinds Of remedies, but his hogs
continued to die, and that nearly all
had died [ asked what he thought
Of the green manuring articles, and
the plan of preventing cholera that
had appeared in the Journal and other
papers. He replied that he had not
read the articles
He had been gone short time
when Mr.. W. came in to receive pay
for two bales of cotton He said, |
have had no trouble with hog cholera,
and always raise my meat and other
provisions, [ take care Of my hogs
and pigs, and see that they have pure
clean water to drink, have pasture for
them to run in, supply them with
plenty of green food. Hogs will keep

Disease is usually caused by lack Of
attention or bad management" He
then spoke of crops, and said, & l have

together with hard work and good
management, that [ have increased
the value of the land greatly and al
ways produce satisfactory crops. |
find that a crop of pea vines are worth
twice as much as crop of weeds and
grass" He spoke of the articles on
green manuring, and said that he had
read them with interest and approval.
These two men represent the two
classes of farmers-one division is
growing poorer every year. The
other class is improving, and find that
farming pays. Cannot'all farmers be-
long to the latter class ? A.

SUGGESTION FOR THE GOOD OF
THE ORDER.

There have been too many Alliances
organized for the best interests of the
order In this county over sixty have
been formed, about one to every ff-
teen square miles. 1t is not every ff-
teen square miles that can furnish the
material for conducting and keeping
alive any organization, much less one
like the Alliance, relying on class
like the farmers, whose isolated habits
and want of discipline so little fit them
for associoted effort. A mass of this
kind Of people, however good their in
tentions, or ripe for action they may
be, must have competent subordinate
leaders, in whom they have confidence,
and who are able to instruct and hold
them together, and cause them to take
an interest in their meetings, and make
them feel that they are learning and
accomplishing something, something
that promises benefit in the future,
however remote Hence, more juris
diction must be had to secure to each
sub-Alliance competent leaders and
managers The great multitude of
Alliances in the country, and the
neglect in organizing to thoroughly
instill the principles of the order in
the members calls for efficient lectur-
ing to repair the injury resulting from
that neglect If this could at once be
inaugurated, and we'll informed con-
servative men visit and lecture the
Alliances it would add a great deal Of

MEETING OF FORSYTH COUNTY
FARMERS CLUB.

The meeting of the Forsyth County
Farmers Club was held in the court
house in Winston on Saturday, 26th
November, 1887.
The calling of the roll showed %
delegates present from the various
subordinate clubs.
Reports from the subordinate clubs
in the county, with one or two excep-
tions, showed that they are in good
working order and are moving on
ward and upward. Some few were
not represented.
Next in order was unfinished busi-
ness, consisting Of the appointment OF
a county agent for the purchasing OF
fertilizers and farming machinery in
pursuance of a resolution offered by
the Spanish Grove Club, said resolution
having in view the appointing Of said
purchasing agent, and the duty was
placed upon the Executive Committee
Of the County Club, which committee
will report their proceedings to the
next county meeting, which will be
held the 4th Saturday in December
next at the court house in Winston at
10 o'clock a. M. All members Of the

MAKING CREAM CHURN EASY.

a lady friend, an experienced and
successful butter maker thus explains
how she makes the butter come quickly
as cold weather approaches. She
keeps the cream crock in the cellar as
cool as possible, and as the natural re-
suit it is too cool for good butter MAX
ing. If the cream is directly heated
over the fire it is apt to make soft but
ter, as every housewife knows What
she does is to make quart or a little
more Of sweet milk, heat it quickly
over the fire and then mix it with the
cream already in the churn, adding
enough to bring it up to the right
temperature The butter comes quick
ly by this method, and is not made
soft late in the season. 1t is not plan
adapted so we'll to butter making in
hot weather, for then the cream, un-
less kept on ice, usually needs no
warming. Some use hot water instead
Of milk, but the advantages of the lat
ter is that the warm, sweet milk i'm
parts better flavor to the butter and
greatly improves the buttermilk, be
sides, Of course, making more Of it.
There is probably only very small
increase of butter that comes directly
from the heated sweet milk. Possibly
this furnishes no butter; but it does
separate the butter particulars more
correctly from the cream than is pos
sible otherwise. The yield of cream
and butter from milk should, under
most circumstances naturally increase
in proportion to the milk as the amount
Of butter is lessened A farrow COW,
five or six months after calving gives
less, but richer, milk than she does at
first. But what avails this to the but
ter maker, if he or she cannot separate
the butter from the cream in which it
is enclosed. Adding warm sweet milk
seems to entirely remove this difficulty,
and has many other incidental advan-
tages.-Ameracon CnHlvator.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1887-12-08

strength to the cause, and increase its
power and permanency. There are
but few farmers but will admit that
there is something somewhere that in
terferes with their financial prosperity.
Once engage their attention, and con-
vince them that the cause has been
traced, and remedy found, they will
be ready to enter the ranks to stay.
But farmers are not without faults as
we'll as other classes they have their
weakness and follies just like other
folks; they are distrustful of their own
kind, and often justly so, but they some
times run it too far, and refuse to give
that loyalty and obedience to their
pledges and leaders their own interest
requires, and while | depreciate the
too frequent use Of the term, they do
too often hunt for "bug under the
chip" Sometimes the bug is really
there. but not nearly as often as as
serted or pretended. When it is found
it ought to be mashed, and that would
produce an order that would keep the
bug away from that chip in the future
There are other faults among farmers,
and the sooner we hunt them out, and
confess and abandon them, the better
it will be for US 1t frequently hap
before an Alliance or Club and make
a little speech, too many of us believe
we are statesmen, and ought not to be
overlooked, and then, if we can't get
our brethren to agree with us, we be-
come offended and quit Others are
constantly on the alert for opportuni-
ties to make money, and too frequent
ly exhibit solicitude about it that in
dicates more love for the almighty
dollar than for the good of the cause.
In the election Of officers, we some
times sacrifice efficiency for personal
feelings and considerations of self-in-
terest, or popular favor, and hence it
may sometimes occur that those in
position, even in high place, are in
competent, narrow, illbread and dis
posed to use their position in partial
manner. If such should be the case,
and worthy brother mortified and
humiliated from official incompetency,
or from intention, it would be calcr-
lated to ALLEVIATE the brotherhood from
each order, weaken confidence and so
plant the seeds of disintegration. It's
bad enough to lose bad brother, but
worse to lose a good one.
We must educate ourselves breth
rem, and elevate our feelings, practice
brotherly kindness and the courtesies
of life. Such is the condition and
methods of those who combine against
u.s. They preserve and utilize every
atom of strength possible, and make
principle and purpose the guage of
their action without regard to their
personal likes or dislikes, and to sue
ceed we must do the same. We must
be cemented by a common interest
and a common purpose, leaving selfish
ness and prejudice entirely out Of
sight-W. P. HANCOCK, in Waco Star

Oak Ridge Alliance held a most in
teresting meeting on the 18th ult
Several applications for membership
we're presented and several were in
itiated. We are growing stronger
each meeting and the members are
more and more encouraged to work
for a thorough and complete organiza-
ton. We are beginning to see some
thing Of the power Of associated effort,
and we intend to do all in our power
towards bringing it about with all the
farmers Of the State.
The best methods for raising and
applying manures was discussed, and
the Alliance became so interested that
the discussion was prolonged to the
hour Of adjournment, when they re-
solved that they would continue it at
our next meeting.
We hereby cordially invite the
brethren of Alliances to visit us in our
meetings. Would be glad to see them

A CONCESSION.

1t is a generally understood fact now
that the Mormons will make formal
provision against polygamy in the consti-
tuition under which they are to ask for
Statehood, and it is to be hoped, Tor the
sake of the poorer class of saints, that
such a step will be taken. While, of
course, there is no danger that their pray
ers to Congress will be granted, the
promise to give up polygamy will stand
on record and will be concession against
which the whole power of the Church
has been bent for many years.
Heretofore it has been the custom
in the trials Of unlawful cohabitation
cases to give the prisoner the chance to
redeem himself simply by a sincere
promise to obey the law in the future.
As usual thing, the spirit was willing
but the flesh was weak. In many cases
the spark of true loyalty has shone out
for moment, but has been smothered
by the dread fear of social and religious
ostracism. Some men have even gone so
far as to admit that they wanted to obey
the law, but dare not make promises,
while few-on)y few-have faced all
and declared their intentions to be loyal
to their country. The treatment of this
aforementioned class has been held up as
an awful warning TO those who were to
choose their future, and the result has
usually been that Imprisonment is chosen
IN preference to the promise.
Now, after the Church itself, embodied
IN the Peoples party" has come out
and promised what it has always forbid
den its people to promise, what man in
that organization will be afraid to follow
the same course for himself? Ifthere be
any such, they can no longer claim the
sympathy of the outsiders by setting up
the pretense of being afraid of the
Church. If the Peoples party
can hold conventions for the pur-
pose OF making anti-polygamous
promises, then each and every
member OF that party-and what is the
same thing, of the Mormon Church-has
right TO hold little convention of his
own and agree with his inner self to be a
good citizen, Statehood or no Statehood.
TEere are many honest souls among the
cohabs. now in the Pen, and it is to be
hoped that when the Church party ceases
to say, I'VE can't make no promises"
the people themselves will cease to saw
1t, and will come out like men to claim
the freedom which the law gives to the
man who proves himself his country's
friend.
akThe Interpolation of an an.i-polygamv
clause in the Constitution of the proposed
State of Deseret is spoken of by the
Saints themselves in something-must-
be-done manner, and from this it is seen
that the outward concession of what has
30 long been called n principle of the
Mormon religion is now being seriously
considered. THE DEMOCRAT does not be-
iieve that the promise, if made, will be a
sincere one, but it will be an outward one.
and outward circumstances must be made

LAMAR FOR PROMOTION.

The name OF Secretary Lamar is again
connected with the vacancy on the Su-
preme Court bench, and the prospects
are that he will be nominated at an
early date by the President. Lamar is a
great friend of the Chief Executive, and
it is generally believed that he can have
the place. This brings up the question
OF a cabinet vacancy, and speculation is
already rife as to who shall be Lamar's
successor. Then the rumored intention
of Secretary Endicott to retire leaves
another cabinet Office to be filled and
gives rise to still more talk. The name
of General Black, of Illinois, is promi-
nently mentioned, and it is thought that
his nomination will be generally accept
able. He has good war record and
would be generally acceptable to the
West, while the Grand Army would be
ready to back him at any time. Black is
now Commissioner of Pensions, and his
promotion would leave another good
place to be filed by the right man.
